User catnaroek was only talking about support for Functional programming. And they're right: it's hard to reasonably support typed functional programming without sum types.
And we're talking about a language dammit, not libraries or package managers. Let's have a good language first, then build the tools around it.
- catnaroek 9y agoIt's even worse: it's hard to reasonably support functional programming, typed or untyped, when list and tree values aren't directly expressible in the language's semantics. If you need a social convention not to query physical object identities, you have already lost.
